Here’s where technology comes to the rescue like a Lycra wearing savior.

I’ve scoured the web to find some apps that can help you make the most out of your time at college without sacrificing your grades or your privacy.

Each app has been handpicked by me to help with a certain aspect of college life both academic and social.

Apps for the serious student: Because you’re an academic, right?

App: 101 Interview Questions and Answers

Category: Job Interview

Required Permissions: None

Details: 101 Interview Questions and Answers is a guide to the interview process of biblical proportions. Crammed full of ideas and measured responses, 101 will help prepare you for some of the trickiest hours that you can face when a student.

App: SimpleWash

Category: Social Media

Required Permissions: Facebook info (see screenshot)

Details: It’s no secret that social media profiles are becoming a more important part of job applications (check out our Digital Diaries study) and this is where Facewash can help. As Facewash say, “Start becoming a professional today”.

App: Woodchuck

Category: Reading

Required Permissions: None

Details: Woodchuck is an absolute godsend. One of the worst parts of being a student is reading long (and mostly boring) academic texts. Woodchuck makes this arduous task a little easier by breaking them down into digestible portions that can be read in minutes. It even works on pdfs.

App: Scheedule

Category: Scheduling

Required Permissions: None

Details: Scheedule: Scheedule takes your college timetable and those of your friends and gives you a list of who is available to go eat/play/lift with at any given time.

Apps for social life: Having a good time has never been so easy.

App: Now

Details: Never be short of fun things to do with Now. Now feeds in Instagram pictures taken in your area so that at a glance you can see what great, gigs, parties and meals are going down.

App: SplitWise

Category: Money

Required Permissions: Access to contacts

Details: It wouldn’t be a group meal out amongst students if there wasn’t difficulty splitting up the bill come the end. Splitwise takes the hassle out of that by calculating how much is owed by each person.

App: GobiCab

Category: Transport

Required Permissions: Location Services

Details: GobiCab makes it easier than ever before to find people heading in the same direction so that you can split a cab fare. And hey you might meet some cool new people on the way.

What do you think of this list? Are there any apps you would include? What apps could you not live without?
